A co-worker took me out today for a spin in his car ... one of those twin turbo BMW 135 coupes. He says he has done an upgrade which increased the power by about 70 horses. Apparently it has electornically controlled waste gates and the upgrade increases the boost from 8psi to 12psi.
All I can say is, "holy crap!". That thing is really fast. Those turbos kick in early and it just keeps pulling. He got it up to 130 and then let out of it. I was like, "dude this is not safe, please slow down". I am not at all used to those kind of speeds.
I know there are faster cars out there, including some of the cars you guys on this forum have, but for me, I can't remember the last time I was in a car that fast. I have no idea if mine is as fast either, it is sitting (again!) and I have never gone that fast in it, especially on the highway.
